U.S. District Judge James Moody, whose courtroom is in Hammond, Ind., will preside over the murder solicitation case.

Lefkow ruled in Hale’s favor in the infringement suit, in which an Oregon-based group sued Hale’s organization, claiming it held a trademark on the name “World Church of the Creator.” But her decision was overturned, and in November she ordered Hale to stop using the name. He was later arrested for solicitation to commit murder.
